Form to add data
Can a form be made to add data by just keying a number ID and then the rest
of the information will appear plus a blank cell for the new data. My table has product information and each one has a separate ID number. I want a input form where when you key in the product ID you then can see the other information plus the blank field for the order amount. is this possible? Thanks |

Form to add data
Pepper,
The "other information" associated with the product ID is already stored in the master product table. So therefore on this form you are talking about, you don't need it to be redundantly storing this information a second time in the table that the form is bound to. You just need it to access the data from the main product table, and *display* it on the form. There are a number of approaches that can be taken here. It might help to read through this article: http://accesstips.datamanagementsolu...biz/lookup.htm -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP pepperj wrote: Can a form be made to add data by just keying a number ID and then the rest of the information will appear plus a blank cell for the new data.
